My logic at least, I'd have made exactly the same mapping.

Predictable? Since frontness-backness has little to do with PoA, I find your
mapping extremely strange. u is rounded, thus labial, and thus belongs
definitely with p. a is often connected to back consonants (remember the thing
about the name of Re in Egyptian being Ria3, the [a] being there only because
of the presence of the back consonant 3?) and thus fits well with k, and i,
being palatal, belongs with t which is the closest there.
